Patented Mar. 11, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DAVID S. JACOBUS, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- MENTS, TO FULLER LEHIGE COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE FURNACE WALL Original application filed January 31, 1924, Serial'No. 689,310. Divided and this application filed June ports may be used. The invention will be end of the wall; Fig. 2 is a sectional fplan best understood from the following description and the annexed drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view, partly in section, looking at the view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a side view 0 the wall; Figs. 4' and 5 are enlarged details; Fig. 6 is a front view of a boiler furnace partly in section and partly-broken away, and Fig. 7 is a section along the line a-a of Fig. 6.

In the particular arrangement which I have illustrated, the wall 13 rests against a plurality of vertical members shown as channels 41 which are fixed, thus forming fixed supports. The wall is provided at intervals with special tile 42, each projecting from the wall to a channel 41, as shown best in Figs. 1 and 2. The special tile 42 may be connected to the channels 41 so as to permit the wall 13 to move in any direct-ion in relation to the fixed channels 41. The particular arrangement illustrated comprises a member 43, preferably metallic, having downwardly projecting portions 44 engaging in suitable notches in the side of the tile 42, the member 43 being Z-shaped, with its ulpwardly extending leg'43 engaged by a U-s aped clip member 43' having a notch 43" engaging one of the'legs 41' of the channel 41. It willbe seen that the clip memberholding the connecting member .43 to the" support is formed of two substantially parallel and vertical legs joined by a semi-cylindrical portion, and that the notch 43" in which the leg 41' is received, extends circumferentially of this semi-cylindrical portion and terminates in a ortion extendin axially of the cylinder. s will be seen y an inspection of Figs. 4 and 5, when the wall 13 moves vertically relatively to the members 41, the clip member 43' will slide along the leg 41' of the channel; when the wall 13 moves horizontally, theupwardly rojecting leg 43' of the member 43 can slide aterally through the clip 43'. The connection between the clip 43 and the member 43 will also permit relative vertical motion be- -connection between said wall and sup Serial No. 40,487.

tween the wall and the channels even if the clip 43' is fastenedto the channel. The same may be true of the connection between the tile 42 and the member 43, though preferably the rojecting portions 44 will engage their notc ies tightly. The members 43 may also be readily disconnected from the connecting members 43 b merely sliding them a relatively short istance along the channel.

By making the upwardly extending le 43 of the member 43 very wide, as shown est in Fig. 2, it will be obvious that no great care will be needed as to the horizontal spacing of the special tiles 42, since such tile may be considerably to one side or the other of the channel 41 and yet the member 43 can be connected to the channel b the clip member 43 and the end of the wid d tile 42 will rest against the channel. This enables the building of the wall without the cutting of any of the bricks of the wall, even if such bricks are not of the width for which the spacing of the channels 41 is designed.

A plate 45, which is preferably insulated on the outside to prevent undue heat loss, covers the outer parts of the channels 41 to form a duct between the plate 45 and the exterior of the wall 13, such duct including not only the spaces between the channels 41 but also the spaces between the exterior oi the wall 13 and the channels themselves.

It will be understood that the arrangements which I have described are merely illustrative and that the embodiments of my invention may be widely varied.

I claim 1. In a furnace, a wall, a support, and a comprising a member having substantially parallel legs joined by a portlon of approxmate semi-cylindrical shape. I

2.. In a furnace, a wall, a support, and a connection between said wall and sup ort comprising a member having substantiall parallel legs joined by a portion of approx1-' comprising a member having substantially 100 parallel legs joined by a portion of approximate semi-cylindrical shape having a circumferentially extending slot terminating in an axially extending portion.

4. In a furnace, a wall, a support, a Z- shaped connector between the wall and support, and a U-shaped holding member connecting the connector and support.

5. In a furnace, a wall, a support, a Z- shaped connector between the wall and support, and a U-shaped holding member slid-' ably holding said connector against said support.

6. In a furnace, a fixed support, a wall spaced from said support and having a tile projecting therefrom towards the support, a connecting member on said tile and movable in a vertical direction with respect to said tile, and a holding member joining said connecting member to said support and movable vertically and horizontally with respect to said connecting member.

7. In a furnace, a fixed support, a wall therein,

support, the connecting member adapted to move horizontally with respect to the holding member. v

12. In a furnace, a fixed support, a Wall ad j acent thereto and comprising a-tile extending toward the support and .having a notch a connecting member movably mountedon said tile and having a part received in said notch to guide the member in its movement on the tile, and a holding memher having .sliding engagement with said support and said connecting member.

13. In a furnace, a wall, a channelfixed adjacent the wall and having a leg substan-. tially parallel thereto, a' member mounted on said wall and having a leg extending adjacent the leg of said channel, and a U-shaped clip slidably mounted on the channel leg and adapted to engage the leg of the member on said wall.
